The Nose (VI 5.8 A2), [30] Yosemite, El Capitan – Speed record of 1:58:07 with Tommy Caldwell [72] [73] I've done a lot of thinking about fear. For me the crucial question is not how to climb without fear-that's impossible- but how to deal with it when it creeps into your nerve endings.” Cameron, Gwen (September 2, 2014).

I was familiar with Alex Honnold's work before reading this book and I had seen Valley Uprising, Free Solo and The Dawn Wall as well as read some articles and seen some videos with Tommy and Alex.
